Abstract:

Several studies have suggested different neural circuits for different categories of stimuli. The present studies explore in patients submitted to surgical removal of a glioma, the role of cortical and subcortical structures involved in processing abstract and concrete words. In the first study living and non-living objects were investigated. Direct electrical cortical stimulation was used to map naming of living/non-living entities during surgical removal, then subcortical connections for specific categories of objects were investigated. Two different pathways were identified, one for living

Abstract:

There is evidence that abstract and concrete words are represented and processed differently in the brain. Numerous studies suggest the activation of a bilateral network for both abstract and concrete words, with a greater involvement of posterior, sensory areas in concrete word processing, and a more focal activation of anterior regions, involved in verbal processing, for abstract words. This Ph.D. thesis aimed at investigating the different neural substrates of concrete and abstract words by studying memory priming during general anesthesia. Implicit memory tasks, in fact, seem to be immune

As a result, the learning and teaching of vocabulary must be one of the focal points of L2 learning. This study quantitatively investigates the effectiveness of two vocabulary learning strategies, the keyword method and the visual support method. Using these two strategies, L2 learners can store the word's meaning both visually and ling

This dissertation positions the International Concrete Poetry movement within its historical moment and links it to the emergence of a new global imaginary around the middle of the 20th century.

By positioning primary materials – poems, manifestos, and statements by the poets themselves – against contemporaneous cultural phenomena across various disciplines, I

The purpose of this study was to evolve how to reduce the manifestation of poor decisions that always produce defects and rework. The purpose of the study is predicated on the fact that good decision-making is a fundamental element of improved project delivery in the construction industry. Such decisions determine the accomplishment of performance parameters in each project. However, suboptimal performance, which is pervasive in the construction industry, is often linked to team decisions.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the various approaches which have been taken to investigate the concrete/abstract word distinction both in normal subjects and in patients who, as a result of brain damage, have an impairment of lexical semantic representations. The nature of the definition task as a tool for assessing the semantic representations of concrete and abstract terms was examined. It was found that definitions for abstract words differed from those of concrete words only in style, not in semantic content. The metalinguistic demands of the definition task therefore make it inappropriate for asses

The overall aim of this thesis is to develop reliable methods of measuring output levels for construction plant and labour, with a view to establishing realistic output rates for concreting operations. This thesis demonstrates that most of the variability in production rates can be quickly explained, leaving relatively constant levels of output f or individual construction operations (i.e. basic operation times). The primary factors in determining output rates were found to be work rate, delays and waiting caused by poor management, and poor motivation. The latter two items accounted f or more

Concrete, as primary building material, is widely used in most construction project. For this reason, large amounts of concrete waste were generated from construction and demolition. One way to reuse concrete waste is to use it as backfill material for landfilling and road bases. While the demand for backfill material is decreasing as the basic infrastructure construction gradually completes. Another way to reuse concrete waste is to grind it and use it as aggregate in casting new concrete. However, the reuse as aggregate for casting concrete requires large amount of cement.

It is, in respect to the history of concrete, a relatively new development, with its first UK application occurring in the late 1990s.

Abstract:

Temporal logics are a very popular family of logical languages, used to specify properties of abstracted systems. In the last few years, many extensions of temporal logics have been proposed, in order to address the need to express more than just abstract properties. In our work we study temporal logics extended by local constraints, which allow to express quantitative properties on data values from an arbitrary relational structure called the concrete domain. An example of concrete domain can be (Z, <, =), where the integers are considered as a relational structure over the binary order relat

This thesis provide a contribution to the scientific debate, focusing on holistic renovation from outside of reinforced concrete building by embracing a life cycle perspective. Effectiveness of such an approach to the renovation with respect to traditional ret

Abstract:

This thesis presents the results of a research project to investigate the behaviour of the two components of a reverse channel connection to concrete filled tubular sections: the reverse channel and the steel tubular section, at both ambient and elevated temperatures. This research forms part of a European Union funded project on the robustness of joints to composite columns under fire conditions. The specific objectives of this research are to develop methods of quantifying the load-deformation behaviour at various temperatures of the two components. This research has been carried out through

Com o desenvolvimento dos produtos químicos utilizados na construção civil, em especial os superplastificantes e superfluidificantes, a utilização desse tipo de concreto tornou-se cada vez mais freqüente pela possibilidade de se obter uma mistura suficientemente trabalhável utilizando-se fatores água/cimento menores do que 0,35.

Abstract:

New school buildings are met with questions in growing cities like Stockholm: How to place them? Which scale? What use, degree of openness, and flexibility, and for whom? This reflection has been made in relation to a suburban area, resulting in a proposal for smaller schools supported by another, shared, building that welcomes more specific activities and is open to the public. It would offer more specialized and adapted spaces to cooking, sewing, music and dance classes, as well as a bigger library and would intensify their use.

Abstract:

With increased demand for housing in Sweden's metropolitan regions, it is of greatimportance to meet the need and build more. The supply of housing is governed byaccess to land and what it costs to build apartment houses. In Sweden, there is ahistory of cartel formation of contractors and at the turn of the millennium, thegovernment invested funds to create increased price transparency in theconstruction sector. Based on this, the purpose of this project is to investigate how itis possible to today produce housing more economically, while maintaining quality.The study is limited to the purchas

One of the key components of international development is to provide adequate shelter for citizens of developing countries. This is often accomplished by governmental, non- governmental, and private organizations that seek to lower the cost, increase the quality, and expand the availability of safe, sustainable housing through the use of innovative technologies. These new technologies can affect the social and/or economic structure within communities.

Abstract:

Estruturas Mistas de Aço-Concreto têm sido usadas extensivamente na construção de pontes e viadutos urbanos, especialmente a partir da segunda metade do século XX. A popularidade desse tipo de solução, com seções caixão, cresceu devido a sua alta capacidade à flexão, rigidez à torção e uma seção transversal fechada que reduz a superfície exposta a corrosão. Este trabalho discorre sobre o comportamento estrutural, procedimentos de análise e verificação em Estado Limite Último (ELU) de pontes mistas de seção caixão com aplicação de protensão externa.

Abstract:

Hot-mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) mixture fatigue characterization constitutes a fundamental component of HMAC pavement structural design and analysis to ensure adequate field fatigue performance. HMAC is a heterogeneous complex composite material of air, binder, and aggregate that behaves in a non-linear elasto-viscoplastic manner, exhibits anisotropic behavior, ages with time, and heals during traffic loading rest periods and changing environmental conditions. Comprehensive HMAC mixture fatigue analysis approaches that take into account this complex nature of HMAC are thus needed to ensure ade
